I Need Your Lovin'
I Need Your Lovin' is a popular rhythm and blues song written by Bobby Robinson and Don Gardner. Gardner, teamed up with singer Dee Dee Ford and scored a Top 20 hit with the song in 1962. The song features a false ending half way through, and then cranks right back up again. Like much R&B, the song displays a strong gospel influence.
"I Need Your Lovin'" has been covered by many artists including Otis Redding, on his debut 1964 album Pain in My Heart; and Tom Jones. Buckwheat Zydeco included the song on his 1983 album "100% Fortified Zydeco."
